JOB DESCRIPTION
Orchard's platform provides analytics and execution for institutional investors looking to deploy capital across Online Lending (i.e. peer-to-peer) exchanges.
Orchard may have a finance product, but we're a tech culture! Our technical founders have built the markets Google acquired from Admeld, helped build Google's advertising exchanges, and built high frequency trading systems at Bloomberg.
We are designing our platform to scale in all directions! That begins with a robust and extensible backend, capable of supporting high frequency trading as well as complex analytics. In the vein of tech giants like Twitter, FourSquare, LinkedIn, and Yammer, our stack is built on top of Scala and the JVM. It's stable, cutting edge, and exciting!
Engineering only comes second to camaraderie. Video games, guitars, beer time, Sonos - these are a few of our favorite things.
